19th century

Sold by Tom Scott Antiques

Description

Impressive and well proportioned early c19th French Empire marble top commode with fabulous carved and gilded lions paw feet and all original brass mounts.

The commode ( or chest of drawers ) has been allowed to grow old gracefully, so there is so restoration to be done to tidy it up and also touch up those beautiful carved lions paw feet with gold, so they can be as dramatic as originally intended! ( All necessary restoration, cleaning and polishing will be done within the price quoted ).

Three full width drawers, all running well and have all their original lions mask ring pull handles. The keyhole escutcheons are also original, but sadly I don't have the original key.

The pillars to the sides are finished with a brass plinth and a plaque to the top with wonderful details.

The marble top gives a great contrast to the mahogany, rich charcoal tones and in good condition with no more than the usual signs of close to 200 years.

Great example of this wonderful period of French furniture and a really decorative piece.

Any queries, please don't hesitate to get in touch
